Our Low Light Pistol Shooting Class is a comprehensive training program designed to equip participants with the skills and techniques necessary to safely and effectively use a handgun in low light conditions, where visibility is limited.

This course focuses on essential skills for low light scenarios, including flashlight utilization. Participants will learn various methods for holding a flashlight while operating their pistol, such as the Harries, Roger/SureFire, Neck-Index, and FBI techniques, each suited to different situations and or preferences. We emphasize the importance of maintaining proper firearm control and sight alignment while using a flashlight to identify and engage potential threats.

Students will also learn when to use a flashlight judiciously, understanding that revealing their position too early can be a tactical disadvantage. The class covers shooting drills, target identification, and decision-making in low light situations to enhance situational awareness and safety.

By the end of this course, participants will be better prepared to navigate low light environments while effectively employing their pistol and flashlight, ultimately enhancing their personal security and safety.

USCCA Concealed Carry - Home Defense Instructor Certification course.

The revolution of optics on pistols is upon us. Whether your optic is red, green or amber, it’s very different from shooting traditional sights. Though iron site shooting is a fundamental skill that needs to be mastered, red dots (or PMOs — Pistol Mounted Optics) offer many advantages for accuracy and speed.

Learn the right way to use these terrific tools.

Class Covers: – Zeroing – Proper Optic Presentation – Learning from dot recoil path – Site over Bore impact at various distances – At home drills

Basic AR-15 fundamentals. Effective self and home defense with an AR-15 starts with a solid understanding of the essential parts, features, and functions of your rifle. You’ll also get an overview of proper cleaning and maintenance, well-suited accessories, and the basics of using an AR-15 for home defense. Start your AR-15 training here!What the platform is about, how to use it and enjoy it. This evening is fun and informational for all levels. ANY AR-15 style rifle is fine, including .22lr such as the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 or the Tippmann rifle. These are both CT legal firearms.

We have loaner rifles available.

Part of the PATH Program (Pistol 1 → Pistol 2 → Pistol 3 → EDC)

Pistol 2 builds on the core skills from Pistol 1, introducing students to the fundamentals of drawing from a holster, safe re-holstering, and reloading from a pocket or magazine carrier.

In this course, students refine their draw stroke through proper technique, optimized gear setup, and focused repetition. We emphasize both safety and efficiency at every step.

Performance Benchmark: Class record: 0.98 seconds from draw to hit at 10 yards on an IDPA A-zone target. Course standard: under 2.0 seconds.

EDC: Everyday Carry & Defensive Shooting The Final Course in the PATH Program (Pistol 1 → Pistol 2 → Pistol 3 → EDC)

Our EDC course is designed for experienced shooters ready to take their skills into the real world. This advanced class focuses on practical application of defensive shooting techniques using your actual everyday carry (EDC) pistol, gear, and clothing.

You’ll train from real-life positions—standing, seated, behind cover, in and around vehicles—and work through high-stress scenarios that reflect the unpredictable nature of personal defense. Emphasis is placed on concealment, access, movement, and making smart decisions under pressure.

This is not a marksmanship class—this is about fighting with the gun you carry every day.

Key Skills Covered:

Drawing from concealment in varied positions

Shooting from compromised or non-traditional stances

Engaging threats while moving, using cover, or seated

Gear evaluation and setup for real-world readiness

Threat recognition and response under duress

This course closes out the PATH program by bridging the gap between training and real-life defense.

AR15-style rifles or carbines introduce a new level of complexity compared to handguns. This course includes operation of the moving parts, field stripping, cleaning, and maintenance, along with basic marksmanship fundamentals.

We begin in the classroom with a brief overview of the AR15 platform and its history and parts. From there we take it to the rifle range and shoot. We then return to the classroom for a detailed cleaning session.

Ditch the bowling lanes, pass on the golf course drudgery, and delay the happy hour bar—this time, do something unforgettable.

Join us on the range for a hands-on AR-15 Shooting Experience—a professionally led event where you’ll learn shoot real AR-15 rifles in a safe, controlled environment.
